Question

1. which statement is true about conjunctions?

they are often used to combine choppy sentences.

they should be used to combine two or more long sentences.

they are used to make sentences shorter.

they should not be used in essays.

Explanation:

Conjunctions (like "and," "but," "or") connect words, phrases, or clauses. Choppy sentences are short, disjointed ones; conjunctions combine them for smoother flow. The second option is wrong (conjunctions combine related ideas, not just long sentences). The third is wrong (they combine, not shorten). The fourth is wrong (conjunctions are essential in essays for coherence). So the first statement is true.

Answer:

A. They are often used to combine choppy sentences. (Note: Assuming the first option's identifier is A; if options had no labels, we'd use position, but here we infer the first option as correct.)
